METAL PACKAGE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented J une 6, 1911.

Original application filed April 4, 1908, Serial No. 425,113. Dividedand this application 'filed January 26,

To all whom it may concern:

3c it known that I, THOMAS HENRY KANE, a citizen of the United States,and a. resident ot' Youngstoun, in the county of Mahoning and State ofOhio, hare invented a new and useful Metal Package, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This is a division of my former application filed April 4th 1908, SerialNumber 425,113, for metal package.

The invention relates to a metallic pack age for white lend, liquids andthe like, and has for its object to provide a strong and durable packageof the kind and for the purpose, that is of inexpensive construction andnonabsorbent of liquid contained therein.

A further object is to provide a. package of the kind that isconstructed from sheet metal, of few parts that are readily assembledand locked and secured together without solder, in strong and' durableform, secure against leakage.

A further object is to provide a hollow cylindrical body, press drawnfromsheet metal, having an integral recessed and out wardly conve'xed'end closure, with an attachable closure for the opposite end of thebody, that is adapted to be readily inserted and securely locked totherim portion of the open end of the body and form a liquid tightclosure therefor after the body is filled with liquid or semi'li uidmaterial.

I accomplish these objects )y the construction and combination of partsas hereinafter described and illustrated in the drawings, in which-Figure 1 is a vertical section of the metal package constructed andassembled in ac cordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsection of a portion of one end of the same on a larger scale, showingthe end closure in position. Fig. 3 shows an other portion of the samebefore the closing; operation is completed. Fig. at is a verticalsection of one corner of the bottom on tho same larger scale.

, In the drawings 1 designates a cylindrical body, press drawn from asingle sheet of metal to form integral therewith the end 2, which by asecond operation is drawn inward of the cylinder through the wire ring I'3, and by a third operation is spun into the position shown dottedlines in Fig. 4,

Serial No, 604,531.

By a fourth operation, the portion spun in above the wire in. formingthe head is pressed down against the wire and the bottom is formed intothe finished concavo-convex form shown in full lines in Figs. 1 and 4.

The open end of the body 1, is beaded inward around a wire 4, to form aretaining board 5 for attaching the inner closure mom her (3, which isformed of a suitable blank of sheet. metal, press drawn to form, first,a cylindrical wall 7, having a diameter totelescopically enter theannular head 5, and second a conearo-convex central portion 8, extendinginto the cavity of the wall 7. The inner closure member 6, after beingthus formed, istelescopically inserted within the head 5, after whichthe wall. 7 is spun around and enlarged cylindrical portion 9. Withinand over the inner closure member 6 thus formed and secured, there isinserted the outer closure member 10, which is formed of sheet metalpress drawn to form an out curved annular wall 11 of a diameter totelescopically enter the inner closure member and to seat upon the outercurved portion of the wall 7 that is curved around the head 5, and haveits outer edge 12 abut the cy1indrical portion 9 of the wall 7 of theinner closure member t. The central portion 13 of the outer closuremember 10, is formed by the operation of press drawing, concave-convexto seat over the concavo-convex central por tion f the inner closuremember -6, and when the outer closure member 10 is thus seated over andwithin the inner closure member 6, the cylindrical wall 9 of the innerclosure member 6 is headed inward over the outer closure member 10, asshown in Fig. 1, whereby the two closure members are, firmly secured tothe head 5 of the casing 1, and the final operation completes thepackage.

The operations of attaching the closure member 6 and 10 are made. afterthe bod 1. has been filled with the material whic forms the contents ofthe package, and when the closure members 6 and 10 are attached asdescribed the package is secure against leakago and is strong anddurable and may be used a substitute for the wooden keg and for likepurposes.

It is manifest that the cylindrical body 1, instead of being press drawnand provided not' limit myself to a press drawn botiy with an integralclosure at one end may have both ends open and beaded inwardl aroundannular wires 4, and each .provi ed with closure members 6 and 10,constru ted and secured therein as described. I ther fore do having oneend closure integral with t body.

Having now explained my improvements, what I claim as my invention anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. The combination with areceptacle hav ing an opening therein which is contracted relative tothe end of the receptacle in which it is disposed, of a member disposedwithin said opening and having a portion drawn under the inner margin ofthe opening wall and a portion extending outwardly through the opening,in contact with its Wall, and

- 21 closure-"for said opening adapted to frictionally seat within saidmember and to be positively retained therein by the outer edge of saidmember which is bent thereover.

2. The combination with areceptacle hav ing an opening therein, the Wallof which forms an inner marginal shoulder, of a supplemental closure forsaid opening, said closure comprising a disk of soft metal which isforced into said opening and having its marginal portion expanded toengage the inner marginal shoulder of the opening wall and thenextending outwardly around the opening wall in contact therewith, and anouter closure fitted closely within the sup plemental closure andpositively retained therein by the edge of the supplemental closurewhich is bent over the e go of said outer closure.

In-combination, a receptacle having an edge thereof rolled inwardly toform a head, a reinforcing member in said bead, a supple mental closuredisposed in the opening formed by said bead said closure having itsouter portion provi ed with a bulge which projects under said head and apart which extends outwardly from said bulge and partially around thebead tightly hugging the same mid anouter closure fitted within thesupplemental closure in frictional contact with said part and having itsedge embraced to retain the closure therein, and a second;

closure In mber pressed within the first clo-- sure member and havingits edge embraced by the edge of the first closure member to retain itin position.

5. The combination with a. receptacle having an end provided with anopening which is contracted relative to such end, an inner and outerclosure for the opening, the inner closure having its marginal portiondrawn to engage the inner marginal edge of the opening wall and thenceextending outwardly through the opening, and the outer closure beingpressed into the inner closure and having its marginal portion extendingoutwardly in contact with the outwardly extending portion of the innerclosure and itsedge embraced by the edge of the inner closure to retainsuch outer closure in position.

6. In a metallic package, the combination with the inwardly wired andbeaded chil of a cylindrical body formed of sheet metal, of a closurefor the end, comprising an inner closure member embracing the wired headof the end, and an outer closure mem ber seated within and over theinner closure member, and locked thereto by bending the outer rimportion of the inner closure memher over the outer rim portion of theouter closure member.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
